WHAT GOES INTO A WEDGETAIL RACK?

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

Our engineers designed the Wedgetail Trade rack to offer a flexible yet durable load-carrying solution. To achieve this, they moulded super-strong aluminium into two distinct profiles—one for the platform frame and another for the crossbars. Before finalizing the design, they tested multiple materials, manufactured a series of prototypes, and subjected them to rigorous stress tests. These tests replicated the daily demands tradespeople place on their roof racks, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

COMPONENTS

These racks are designed using high-grade aluminium crossbars and outer frame, stainless steel hardware, and a durable, powder-coated frame. Its modular design allows for adjustable mounting brackets and various accessory mounts. Built for strength, versatility, and aerodynamics, it’s ideal for professional trade and weekend recreational use.

Frame and crossbars

The Wedgetail Trade rack is manufactured using 6060 grade aluminium, which is extruded in Australia into custom profiles for both the frame and crossbars. Designed with durability in mind, the frame components provide exceptional dynamic strength, while the crossbars resist downward pressure from carried loads and fitted accessories.

For added convenience, the frame bars come pre-punched with holes spaced between 600 and 700mm, allowing easy placement of crossbars and wind deflectors. To enhance longevity, all bar components are finished with a matte black powder coating.

Full-Width Roller

Each rack comes standard with a full-width 50mm, 316-grade stainless steel ladder roller. This feature makes it easier to load awkward materials or ladders onto your roof rack, improving efficiency on the job.

Packaging and freight

Freight costs and potential damage during shipping are major concerns for customers with larger vans. Since most roof racks designed for larger vehicles exceed three meters in length, we needed a practical shipping solution. To address this, our engineers developed a method for disassembling the rack into a more compact package. Not only does this significantly reduce freight costs, but it also ensures the rack arrives in perfect condition. Furthermore, reassembly during installation is both simple and quick.

MOUNTING COMPONENTS

Wedgetail Trade mounting components are meticulously designed for each vehicle to distribute weight evenly across the roof. The mounting rails are laser-cut from 3mm steel, zinc electro-plated and finished with a matte black powder coating. Because larger vans require extra support, the mounting rails are manufactured in two pieces per side to maintain strength and stability.

The Wedgetail Difference

Built for high performance, the Wedgetail Trade roof rack provides a durable and adaptable solution for tradespeople who need reliability on the job. Its lightweight aluminium construction enhances strength without affecting vehicle handling or fuel efficiency. Additionally, the corrosion-resistant materials protect against harsh conditions like rain, salt and dust, making it ideal for long-term use. With an aerodynamic profile, it minimises wind drag and noise, ensuring a quieter ride. Furthermore, the modular design allows you to customize the rack, adding or removing accessories as your needs evolve.

Versatility and Customisation

The Wedgetail Trade rack is built to accommodate a wide range of tools, ladders and materials. Moreover, it’s equally suited for recreational use, allowing you to transport kayaks, camping gear or other outdoor equipment. Thanks to its multiple mounting points, it easily supports various accessories such as ladder racks and conduit holders. Most importantly, its modular design means you can add or remove components as your needs evolve, making it a long-term investment in both work and play.
